Sushant started his career with television. He became a household name after starring in Ekta Kapoor’s hit show ’Pavitra Rishta’. After the show, he debuted in Bollywood in 2013 with ’Kai Po Che!’ and later followed it up with films like ’PK’, ’MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, ’Kedarnath’, ’Sonchiriya’ and ’Chhichhore’ among others. He was next to be seen in ’Dil Bechara’.

Just a few days ago, the actor had mourned the death of his former manager Disha Salian. She had reportedly committed suicide by jumping off the 14th floor of a building in Mumbai’s Malad.

"It’s such devastating news. My deepest condolences to Disha’s family and friends. May your soul rest in peace," Sushant wrote on his Instagram stories.

Sushant was born on January 21, 1986, in Patna, Bihar. His family moved to New Delhi in 2000. His mother died in 2002.

He pursued engineering and meanwhile, also joined Shiamak Davar’s dance academy after which he started attending Barry John’s drama school. In 2005, he also performed at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Australia. Sushant eventually dropped out of college to pursue his acting career.

Sushant dated his ’Pavitra Rishta’ co-star Ankita Lokhande for six years before parting ways sometime in 2016.
